Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpftool: Fix NULL pointer dereference when pin {PROG, MAP, LINK} without FILE
When using bpftool to pin {PROG, MAP, LINK} without FILE,
segmentation fault will occur. The reson is that the lack
of FILE will cause strlen to trigger NULL pointer dereference.
The corresponding stacktrace is shown below:
do_pin
do_pin_any
do_pin_fd
mount_bpffs_for_pin
strlen(name) <- NULL pointer dereference
Fix it by adding validation to the common process.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix general-protection-fault in ieee80211_subif_start_xmit()
When device is running and the interface status is changed, the gpf issue
is triggered. The problem triggering process is as follows:
Thread A: Thread B
ieee80211_runtime_change_iftype() process_one_work()
... ...
ieee80211_do_stop() ...
... ...
sdata->bss = NULL ...
... ieee80211_subif_start_xmit()
ieee80211_multicast_to_unicast
//!sdata->bss->multicast_to_unicast
cause gpf issue
When the interface status is changed, the sending queue continues to send
packets. After the bss is set to NULL, the bss is accessed. As a result,
this causes a general-protection-fault issue.
The following is the stack information:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state
If an error (NULL) is returned by krealloc(), callers of realloc_array()
were setting their allocation pointers to NULL, but on error krealloc()
does not touch the original allocation. This would result in a memory
resource leak. Instead, free the old allocation on the error handling
path.
The memory leak information is as follows as also reported by Zhengchao:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix the msg->req tlv len check in tipc_nl_compat_name_table_dump_header
This is a follow-up for commit 974cb0e3e7c9 ("tipc: fix uninit-value

sizeof(..) to int to work when TLV_GET_DATA_LEN() returns a negative
value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rx_register()
It causes NULL pointer dereference when testing as following:
(a) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x10ul, 3ul, 0) to create netlink socket.
(b) use syscall(__NR_sendmsg, ...) to create bond link device and vxcan
link device, and bind vxcan device to bond device (can also use
ifenslave command to bind vxcan device to bond device).
(c) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x1dul, 3ul, 1) to create CAN socket.
(d) use syscall(__NR_bind, ...) to bind the bond device to CAN socket.
The bond device invokes the can-raw protocol registration interface to
receive CAN packets. However, ml_priv is not allocated to the dev,
dev_rcv_lists is assigned to NULL in can_rx_register(). In this case,
it will occur the NULL pointer dereference issue.
The following is the stack information:

net: wwan: mhi: fix memory leak in mhi_mbim_dellink
MHI driver registers network device without setting the
needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when
unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak.
This patch sets needs_free_netdev to true when registers
network device, which makes netdev subsystem call free_netdev()
automatically after unregister_netdevice().

During the error recovery sequence, the rtnl_lock is not held for the
